Georgia’s Democratic candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams, was speaking to a group of people about the upcoming ‘blue wave’ that left-wing supporters are talking about on social media. Abrams ran through a short list of the people that the ‘blue wave’ includes, and she mentioned ‘documented and undocumented.’
The blue wave theory suggests that a large number of Democrat voters will wipe out the Republicans in the November midterm elections. Abram’s statement could be an issue if what she claims about “documented and undocumented’ refers to illegal immigrants voting in any election, which could be considered voter fraud.
Watch Abrams make the statement in the following video.

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams: Democrats’ “blue wave” in November would be comprised of those who are “documented and undocumented”
Abrams is the first black woman to be a major party nominee for governor in the United States.
Abrams faces off against Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, the current Secretary of State of Georgia.
Kemp was previously supported by President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Kemp defeated Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, moving on to the final round against Democrat Stacey Abrams.
The endorsement from Trump and Pence pushed Kemp over Cagle, seeing Kemp receive more than double the vote. “With 99.9 percent of precincts reporting, Kemp became the state’s Republican gubernatorial nominee with 69.5 percent of the vote – while Cagle captured only 30.5 percent,” per Fox News.
Kemp faces an uphill battle against Abrams amid a controversial lawsuit regarding 53,000 voter registrations being held. Axios reported on the lawsuit, referring to it as “voter suppression.”
“The details: Kemp’s office uses the “exact match” voter verification system to verify voter applications. It requires that voter applications be perfectly matched with information on file at Georgia’s Social Security Administration and the state’s Department of Driver Services.
An error, like a missing letter or hyphen, would put a voter placed on a pending list. The suit filed Thursday also seeks to halt this system.”
Some might call it voter suppression, but others might call it voter protection in order to verify that voters are who they say they are.
